Sudexo Foundation

Together we can END Childhood Hunger! 17 million children in the US are at-risk of hunger. We can come together to make a difference in their lives and help creat a hunger-free nation. The Sodexo Foundation works to ensure that every child in the US, especially those most at-risk, grows up with dependable access to enough nutritious food to enable them to lead a healthy, productive live.

Share Our Strength: No Child Hungry

Every parent knows that a hungry child is a disadvantaged child. He can’t grow, develop and learn like other kids. She has trouble focusing and getting along. They complain often of headaches, stomachaches and other ailments. They fall behind in virtually every way. It doesn’t have to be this way. There is plenty of nutritious food in America to make sure every child grows up healthy and thrives. What’s missing is access to this food. If families don’t have reliable access to healthy, affordable food, they can’t possibly feed their children well.

Share Our Strength’s No Kid Hungry® strategy provides that access to families all across the nation, so that every child, regardless of circumstances, can get the healthy food they need to thrive.

Ample Harvest

One out of six Americans needs food assistance, but can't get fresh produce from the local food pantry. Millions of American homeowners grow more food in their backyard gardens than they can possibly use. AmpleHarvest.org envisions an America where millions of gardeners eliminate malnutrition and hunger in their own community using their backyard gardens.
